If you’ve been paying close attention, you’ll have noticed three new members of the Sociological Images team. We’re so pleased to announce that Philip N. Cohen, Caroline Heldman, and Jay Livingston have joined on as regular Contributors. Each has a bustling public intellectual presence of their own and we’re thrilled that they’re blogging for SocImages!

Caroline, our new Contributor, published two essays exposing the culturally and politically corrupt response to a rape in Silsbee Texas. You can read abridged versions at the Ms. blog (here and here) or her unedited version at her blog.
